Gerard’s House writing A-1

In the first sentence Emma: Today I am visiting Gérard’s House your answer is Aujourd’hui je visite la maison de Gérard.

I thought visite is for museums, not peoplés house. For people we should use rendre visite. Please explain

Also, la maison de Gérard, = chez Gérard?

Re: À la salle de jeux vidéos (y versus en) [ Would like an answer from a Kwiziq Expert ]

Bonjour Madame Aurélie !

Thanks for designing this worksheet which was a brain -teaser indeed !

A question which I propose to ask you is regarding this sentence -

Tout ça pour en arriver là !

The English translation suggests “All that to get there !” But I want to ask what is the very need to use an adverbial pronoun en when the English can be interrupted without en ? Secondly , you specified in the English “ to get from there to there” . Does this play an important role in deciding the option between “y/en” as I answered “y” ?

Merci d’avance !

Bonne journée !

"vous nous avez été recommandés" shouldn't it be "... été recommandé" assuming a single person (or shop) is being addressed?

"It is twenty-five past nine." The answer: Il est neuf heures vingt-cinq. But why isn't "Il est vingt et un heures vingt-cinq" a valid answer?

Y not En«Nous allons en France tous les ans» . Write "We go there every year": Nous ________ allons tous les ans. The correct answer is "Nous y allons tous les ans." Why does "y" replace "en france" instead of "en."Lesson states: "Y replaces places introduced with prepositions "à, sur, chez, dans."
